5 Traits of Authentic Drama-Free Leaders

Five Traits of Authentic Drama-Free Leaders

Presented by Marlene Chism, Author of Stop Workplace Drama

Are you ready to eliminate the negativity and neutralize the time wasters at work? Are you literally sick and tired of the revolving door of complainers? Have you run out of options to get everyone to work together? Do you find yourself leaving work exhausted, overwhelmed and frustrated? Drama in the workplace drains your energy, impacts your personal effectiveness and overall sense of well-being. An interesting tidbit: Did you know that recalling an angry experience for just five minutes can suppress the immune system for up to six hours?

It doesn't have to be this difficult. The first step to change is to recognize the symptoms!

Do you experience any of these problems?

• No one takes accountability
• Your highest performer is a drama queen
• ​People constantly drop in your office to tattle
• You feel more like a babysitter than a manager
• You keep getting caught in the middle playing peace maker
• Employees waste time in gossip and meaningless distractions
• Policies are not respected or enforced
• You inherited a low-level performer that's impacting your team productivity
• You avoid difficult conversations because you fear losing control

What is an Authentic Drama-Free Leader?

With so much of your success hinging on the relationships of your employees and managers, what does it take to go from being a mere “manager” to being an authentic, drama-free leader? How do you strike the right balance of managing, leading, and interacting with your colleagues and employees—without getting sucked into and contributing to drama? 

The person to answer that question is Marlene Chism, author of the award-winning book Stop Workplace Drama.
